The term is often used in English ('interactive tech') even in Portuguese-speaking contexts, reflecting Brazil's tech industry influence and English adoption. In the USA, especially in NYC and Silicon Valley, this is a central concept in product development and user experience design. Portugal tends to use more formal terminology in academic and institutional settings.
